Arsenal defender Tomiyasu out for season after knee surgery - World
Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu will miss the rest of the season following surgery on his right knee, the Premier League title contenders announced Wednesday.
The 26-year-old Japan international has made just one appearance since suffering the injury, which he sustained in pre-season.
The Gunners have endured several injury setbacks during the current campaign, with Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus both out for the season, and Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli sidelined at the moment.
"Takehiro Tomiyasu has undergone a successful surgery on the right knee issue which he first sustained in pre-season," said an Arsenal statement.
"Despite an initial surgical procedure in August, followed by a return to full training, and featuring as a substitute in our home Premier League match against Southampton in October, Tomi continued to have issues with his knee, resulting in a further corrective surgical procedure.
"Tomi will now begin his recovery and rehabilitation programme, which is expected to be completed towards the end of this year."
Tomiyasu, in an Instagram post, said: "I had surgery on my knee a few days ago and I've already started my rehab to do what I love the most again.
"It has been the toughest period in my career for sure and it carries on a bit more but I won't give up. Thank you for your support and see you soon at the stadium."
Arsenal are second in the Premier League, seven points behind leaders Liverpool, and they next play London rivals West Ham at the Emirates on Saturday.

Pochettino defends Pulisic omission: 'I'm not a mannequin' - World
United States coach Mauricio Pochettino defended his decision to omit Christian Pulisic from recent friendlies against Turkey and Switzerland on Saturday, saying he alone was responsible for choosing his squad. AC Milan star Pulisic has been at the center of a simmering controversy over his request to be excused from US duty in the CONCACAF Gold Cup, which kicked off on Saturday. Former US international players including Landon Donovan have criticised Pulisic's decision, questioning his commitment to representing the United States. Pulisic hit back at his critics on Thursday, revealing that while he had asked to skip the Gold Cup he had been willing to play in the warm-up games -- only to be denied by Pochettino. The winger said that he had accepted Pochettino's decision but did not "understand" it. Asked about his decision to leave out Pulisic on Saturday, Pochettino said it was not for players to pick and choose which games they wanted to play in. "He explained why he only wanted to be involved in two games," Pochettino said of Pulisic. "And I respect and I understand him. I understand him. But I don't need for him to understand our decision. Because my position is, I am 53 with a lot of experience in football." "If he performs well and he is the best, it's normal he's going to have a place in the national team. "It's not because a player [is saying]: 'I want to play.' 'I want this.' 'I want that.' I signed my contract with the federation and I am the head coach -- I am not a mannequin." The USA open their Gold Cup campaign against Trinidad and Tobago on Sunday.

Al-Ahly midfielder Ashour to miss remainder of Club World Cup with broken collarbone
(Reuters) - Al Ahly midfielder Emam Ashour will miss the remainder of the 2025 Club World Cup after scans confirmed he had suffered a broken collarbone, the Egyptian club announced on Sunday. Ashour left the opening match of the revamped competition against Inter Miami, which ended in a goalless draw, in tears after injuring his shoulder. "Medical examinations on Emam Ashour in a Miami hospital showed he sustained a broken collarbone, and he will miss the remaining matches in the Club World Cup," Al Ahly doctor Ahmed Gaballah said via the club's account on X. Ashour, who had previously suffered a serious shoulder injury while playing for the Egyptian national team in 2024, initially fell early in the game and received treatment on the sidelines before returning briefly and missing a one-on-one chance. However, the 27-year-old Egyptian Premier League top scorer was unable to continue and asked to be substituted in the 14th minute, being replaced by Ahmed Sayed (Zizo).
